Over the Mountain Hike
Join us for the 13th annual Over the Mountain Hike, traveling through conserved lands in Simsbury and Bloomfield while taking in the beauty of the fall colors.
We will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the hike’s end point, the Oliver Filley House in LaSalette Park in Bloomfield (120 Mountain Ave). From there we will be bused to the start location on the Simsbury Land Trust’s Tanager Hill Preserve. From Tanager Hill we will walk through Penwood State Park stopping at Lake Louise and the Pinnacle for a view of the valley before descending into TRLC’s Stout Family Field with a brief walk along to the road to enter TRLC’s Hawk Hill Farm property which is connected to LaSalette Park to finish the hike.
This hike is approx. 5 miles. There are some spots with difficult footing and steep terrain. Wear sturdy shoes or boots. Bring water, a snack, and hiking poles if you have them.
PleaseĀ register for this program since there is a limited bus space. Thank you!
Co-sponsored by the Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy, Simsbury Land Trust, andĀ Bloomfield Parks, Recreation & Leisure Services.
